Malta’s economy
Malta’s largest single industry is tourism, accounting for about 35% of GDP, with all other services generating a further 35%. Elsewhere, thanks to a productive, flexible workforce, Malta has benefited from inward investment by foreign manufacturers, particularly in semi-conductors and plastics. These contribute to manufacturing’s 25% share of GDP, and generate most of Malta’s exports. Economic growth is running around 2.5%, a little below the EU average. Malta expects to adopt the Euro in 2008.
